Worst-of aggregation
The menu-bar icon always reflects the single worst state across every source. One thing down is never hidden behind everything else being fine.

Is everything OK?
Is everything OK?
Answer it without opening a thing.
VitalsBar watches the status pages of the services you depend on and distills them into a single green / amber / red signal in your menu bar. One glance — everything up? — instead of ten browser tabs.

Built to disappear until it matters
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
History at a glance
Each system carries a compact uptime sparkline — one bar per check, tinted by health — so you can see a wobble the moment it starts.
Sources you choose
Point it at any Atlassian Statuspage with a label and a host. GitHub, Cloudflare, Datadog and OpenAI ship as defaults.
Genuinely native
AppKit + SwiftUI, not a webview. It sips memory, launches instantly, and feels like it came with the OS.
Launch at login
Flip one switch and VitalsBar is watching from the moment you sign in — quietly, in the background, forever.
Updates itself
Signed Sparkle auto-updates land in place and verify against VitalsBar's own key. Install once; stay current.
The health model
Four states. Zero ambiguity.
Every source maps onto one tint. The bar shows the worst; the pane shows the detail.
Operational
Everything reporting none. All clear.
Degraded
A minor incident or maintenance in progress.
Down
A major or critical outage. Act now.
Unknown
The source itself is unreachable. Trust nothing blindly.
A closer look
A rich pane, one click away
Put your peace of mind in the menu bar.
A one-time download that quietly keeps itself up to date from there on.
Unnotarized build — on first open, right-click the app and choose Open to clear Gatekeeper once. Everything after that updates silently.
